This  picture  shows  Mrs.  Christine 
Frederick  at  work  before  her  Hoosier 
Cabinet  in  the  Applecroft  Experiment 
Kitchen.  Mrs.  Frederick  has  contributed 
immensely  to  the  advancement  of 
Domestic  Science.  Her  book,  “The  New 
Housekeeping,”  is  nationally  famous,  but 
until  now  she  has  written  no  endorsement 
of  any  article  by  name.  The  suggestions 
she  makes  in  the  following  pages  are  valu¬ 
able  because  they  are  broad  in  character 
and  practical  in  every  detail.  They  are 
her  own,  drawn  from  two  years’  use  of  a 
Hoosier  Cabinet. 


careful  analysis  of  your  own  kitchen  work 
will  show  you  that  it  all  falls  into 
two  main  divisions  or  processes — 

1.  Preparing  of  food. 

2.  Clearing  away  of  food. 

Every  task  in  any  kitchen,  from 
peeling  potatoes  to  washing  the 
skillet  in  which  they  are  fried,  conies 
under  one  or  the  other  process. 


Divide  Your  Work 

For  example,  let’s  suppose  you  are  going  to  bake  a 
cake.  (1)  Raw  materials — butter,  eggs  and  milk  must 
come  from  a  storage  place — ice-box,  cellar,  cupboard  or 
pantry.  (2)  Next  you  must  collect  the  bowls,  pans, 
mixing  spoons,  etc.,  and  mix  the  cake  on  a  table.  (3)  Next 
you  must  bake  it  in  a  stove. 

So  under  preparing  we  can  put  down  this  equipment: 

1.  Place  for  storage — cellar,  ice-box,  pantry,  cupboard. 

2.  Place  for  mixing — table. 

3.  Place  for  cooking — stove. 

When  the  cake  is  eaten  and  you  are  ready  to  wash 
the  dishes,  you  need  (1)  a  place  to  stack  them;  (2)  a  place 
to  wash  them — the  sink;  (3)  a  place  on  which  to  drain 
them;  (4)  shelves  on  which  to  keep  them  when  dry.

scientifically.  Note  the  confused  network  of  steps  resulting  from  incon¬ 
venient  equipment  wrongly  placed,  a.  Preparing  b.  Clearing  atcay. 


Under  clearing  away,  the  equipment  is  this: 

1.  Place  for  stacking  soiled  dishes. 

2.  Place  for  washing  soiled  dishes — sink. 

3.  Place  for  washed  dishes — drain. 

4.  Place  for  dried  dishes — shelves. 

You  will  see  at  once  that  if  your  equipment  can  be 
arranged  in  this  order  as  used,  you  will  save  steps,  for 
you  will  never  have  to  cross  and  recross  the  kitchen, 
once  your  work  is  under  way. 

As  materials  are  “routed”  in  an  up-to-date  factory,  so 
in  your  up-to-date  kitchen,  the  raw  material  starts  in

finished  cake. 

“Route”  Your  Work 

You  can  “route”  your  work  on  this  plan  in  any  kitchen. 
Place  the  table  for  mixing,  if  possible,- between  the  stove 
and  the  place  where  you  store  food  and  supplies. 

Near  your  sink,  arrange  your  stack-surface  for  soiled 
dishes  at  the  right,  and  your  drain-surface  at  the  left,  so 
that  dishes  move  from  your  right  to  your  left.  This  will 
save  you  time  in  dishwashing. 


The  Hoosier  Cabinet  is  a  dust-proof  food  pantry  and  utensil  cupboard  built 
around  a  big  sliding  metal  table. 

From  first  to  last  this  “routing”  saves  steps  and  time. 
The  arrangement  will  snip  off  minutes  from  every  task 
and  you  will  get  through  more  quickly. 

Now  Consider  Your  Equipment 

Your  biggest  problem  is  your  mixing  table,  for  if  you 
use  an  ordinary  table,  even  though  it  is  placed  conven-

iently,  you  must  carry  to  it 
and  from  it,  all  your  tools 
and  supplies.  This  takes  the 
biggest  part  of  your  time  and 
causes  most  of  your  steps. 


How  You  Save  Steps 

By  using  a  Hoosier  Cabinet 
in  place  of  a  kitchen  table, 
you  save  this  walking.  The 
Hoosier  was  invented  to  combine:  (1)  A  food  supply 
pantry,  and  (2)  a  tool  and  utensil  cupboard,  around  a 
(3)  sanitary  kitchen 
table. 

The  table  itself  is 
bigger  than  most 
tables  and  is  covered 
with  pure  aluminum, 
which  cannot  rust  or 
corrode. 

This  table  slides  out 
sixteen  inches  beyond 
the  front  of  the  base 
so  you  can  sit  down  at 
nearly  all  your  work, 
and  this  sitting  saves 
a  great  deal  of  your 
strength,  for  the 
energy  that  goes  into 
supporting  your  body 
is  almost  as  great 

when  you  stand  as  You  turn  the  Food  Guide  Dial,  and  select 
..  an  economical  meal  in  which  the  foods 

When  yOU  walk.  are  properly  balanced  to  preserve  health.

Even  though  the  table  top  is  covered  with  packages  you  can  reach  into  the  low, 
metal  flour  bin  ( holds  50  pounds )  to  clean  it. 


A  Scientific  Pantry 

The  pantry  part  of  the  Hoosier  Cabinet  is  arranged 
scientifically  so  that  you  can  store  forty  or  more  packages 
— all  the  supplies  you  ever  need- — and  can  reach  any  one 
of  them  instantly  without  disturbing  the  others. 

In  addition,  your  flour,  sugar,  spices,  salt,  flavoring 
extracts,  coffee,  tea  and  other  supplies  needed  frequently, 
are  all  placed  in  handy  compartments  labeled  and  arranged

To  open  doors  in  lower  half  of  top  section  token  table  is  covered,  simply  slide 
out  the  table — doors  swing  open  without  touching  packages.  Note  flour  bin 
comes  apart  for  cleaning. 


so  you  can  use  them  or  put  them  back  with  one  short, 
quick  motion. 

A  Cupboard  with  Brains 

All  the  tools  you  need  are  provided  for  in  the  same 
way.  Little  things  you  use  often,  such  as  a  can-opener, 
egg:beater,  rolling-pin,  etc.,  all  have  their  special  place 
where  you  can  reach  them  most  handily.

HOOSIER  CABINETS 


Lids  and  pie  pans  are  in  a  pocket  at  your  left  hand, 
ready  when  the  dough  is  rolled.  A  sliding  shelf  in  the 
base  brings  the  back  part  of  the  pot  and  pan  cupboard  to 

you  easily.  Metal-lined 
drawers  are  at  one  side, 
one  for  meal,  one  for  towels 
and  kitchen  linen,  and 
another  with  sliding,  self¬ 
closing  lid,  for  bread,  pies 
and  cake. 


In  this  bread  and  cake 
box,  there  is  a  removable 
metal  sliding  shelf  with 
asbestos  bottom  so  that  a 
cake  or  pie  may  be  laid  on 
it  direct  from  the  oven 
and  set  away  to  cool  with¬ 
out  being  disturbed. 

You  get  from  this  descrip¬ 
tion  an  idea  of  the  storage 
convenience  of  the  Hoosier 
Cabinet,  but  there  are  many 
more  conveniences. 


Worry  Removed  from 
Cooking 


The  new  patented  flour  sifter  shakes 
flour  through  four  times  faster  than  the 
old-fashioned  sifter  grinds  it  through. 


On  the  upper  left  door, 
for  instance,  is  a  simple 
ingenious  food  guide  which 
contains  economical  menus  including  every  kind  of  food 
for  every  season.  You  turn  the  dial  and  select  your 
meal  without  disturbing  anything  in  the  cabinet.  If  you 
follow  this  guide,  your  meals  always  will  have  variety, 


SAVE  MONEY 


13 


and  you  will  have  different  kinds  of  inexpensive  foods, 
proportioned  properly,  to  keep  you  and  your  family 
in  good  health.  This  relief  from  the  daily  worry  of 


“What  Shall  We  Have  for 
Dinner?” — is  worth  more  in 
a  year  than  the  low  price 
of  the  cabinet  itself. 

Want  List  and  Bill  File 

Another  door  contains  a 
dial-faced  want  list  with 
several  hands.  When 
you’ve  selected  your  meal, 
it  is  simple  to  set  the  want 
list  as  a  reminder  of  the 
groceries  and  meat  you 
need.  Then  when  the 
supplies  come,  you  can 
check  them  against  this 
list,  file  the  bills  on  hooks 
provided  above  the  list  for 
meat  and  grocery  bills,  or 
pay  them  with  money  you 
keep  in  the  handy  Hoosier 
“money  tray.” 


The  Convenient  Doors  The  sifter  comes  apart  easily;  never 

wears  out;  and  is  absolutely  sanitary; 

Take  the  matter  of  these  cannot  grind  dirt  or  «rit  thro u°h  «'«»«• 

groceries  as  a  further  test 

of  the  Hoosier  convenience.  Suppose  you  had  decided  to 
wipe  the  flour  bin  inside  before  putting  in  fresh  flour,  but 
had  forgotten  until  you  found  the  grocer  had  spread 
packages  all  over  your  Hoosier  table.  The  flour  bin  is 


14 


HOOSIER  CABINETS 


You  can  put  iO  packages  on  the  Hoosier  pantry  shelf,  12  or  more 
bottles  in  the  condiment  cupboard  above  the  flour  bin,  and  70 
dishes  or  more  in  the  dish  cupboard. 


shut  inside  away  from  the  dust.  You  simply  slide  out 
the  metal  table;  the  doors  above  the  table  swing  open 
freely,  and  you  reach  in  to  the  flour  bin  or  any  part  of 
the  cupboard  without  moving  a  package.  You  can  take 
the  flour  bin  apart.  It  is  all  smooth  metal  inside  and  you 
can  wipe  it  down  quickly.  It  is  low,  and  easy  to  fill. 
Put  in  your  flour,  set  your  groceries  on  the  shelf  and

and  meat  bills. 


you're  ready  to  start  work.  On  the  inside  of  the  opened 
doors  at  your  very  finger  tips,  are  the  supplies  you  use 
many  times  a  day.  You  save  the  wasted  energy  of 
endless  reaching.  The  arrangement  is  so  perfect  that 
your  Hoosier  seems  about  to  hand  things  to  you  as  you 
need  them. 


16 


HOOSIER  CABINETS 


When  you  open  your  Hoosier,  your  Food  Guide  is  before  you  on  the  upper  left  door, 
and  your  cook  book  on  the  middle  door.  On  the  upper  right  door  are  flavoring  extracts, 
small  utensils  and  a  tray  for  tickets  and  money.  Your  sugar,  and  spices  in  glass  jars 
are  on  the  lower  right  door  above  the  table;  your  salt,  tea,  and  coffee  in  glass  jars  on  the 
left  door;  on  the  front  of  the  flour  bin  is  your  pencil.  Rolling  pin  and  other  utensils 

are  in  front  of  you. 


Sit  Down  and  Work 

Now,  see  how  you  make  a  cake.  Your  eggs,  butter 
and  milk  come  from  your  ice-box  to  your  Hoosier  table, 
say,  half  a  dozen  steps.  Pull  up  your  stool  in  front  of 
your  Hoosier,  slide  out  the  metal  table  and  sit  down 
comfortably  to  work. 


SAVE  HEALTH 


17 


Cutlery  is  in  the  compartment  drawer  underneath  the  table.  A  special  compartment 
is  for  string.  There  are  three  additional  compartments  for  different  kinds  of  cut¬ 
lery.  Sharp  knives,  for  instance,  can  be  kept  to  themselves.  Note  also  that  the  cutlery 
drawer  is  handy  whether  your  cabinet  is  open  or  closed.  A  slice  of  “bread  and 
butter ”  can  be  had  without  disturbing  any  part  of  the  cabinet  not  actually  needed. 


Cook  Book  Holder 

Your  cook  book  is  ready  in  its  rack  on  the  upper 
middle  door.  Open  it  up  behind  the  spring  holder.  It 
stays  open  out  of  your  way,  and  clean.  You  can’t  spill 
anything  on  it,  yet  it’s  always  at  the  level  of  your  eye. 


18 


HOOSIER  CABINETS 


You  can  open  your  cook  book,  and  keep  it  always  clean,  on  a  level 
with  your  eye,  behind  the  same  spring  clasp  that  holds  it  when  closed. 


Your  flavoring  extracts,  flour,  sugar,  salt— and  all 
your  bowls  and  tools  and  utensils  are  in  the  cabinet  before 
you,  ready  for  instant  use.  Furthermore,  each  of  these 
articles  is  located  where  you  can  reach  it  and  put  it  away 
again  with  the  least  possible  amount  of  exertion.  Every 
detail  has  been  provided  with  scientific  care.  You  don’t 
have  to  take  a  step  until  the  cake  is  ready  for  the  oven.

Your  pastry  flour  and  cereals  are  in  a  deep  metal-lined  drawer 
in  the  base.  Notice  how  near  this  drawer  is  to  your  right  hand. 


Save  Two-Thirds  of  Your  Time 

You  can  see  without  figures  that  this  makes  a  big 
difference  in  steps  and  time  just  in  the  simple  task  of 
making  one  cake.  But  here  are  actual  time  figures  taken 
from  experiments  in  the  kitchen  shown  on  pages  6  and  7. 
These  figures  show  the  minutes  required  to  prepare  a 
cake  both  before  and  after  the  work  was  routed  through 
a  Hoosier  Cabinet.

A  sliding  shelf  in  the  pot  cupboard  brings  out  to  you  the  pans  and  mixing 
bowls  you  use  most  frequently .  Most  women  find  that  this  shelf  holds  all  the 
tools  they  use  in  ordinary  daily  cooking.

cake  undisturbed  into  the  box  to  cool.  The  bread  box  has  ventilated  self-closing 
lid  and  is  mouse  proof.  The  metal  shelf  has  asbestos  bottom. 


The  mixing,  you  notice,  took  exactly  the  same  number 
of  minutes  at  each  test,  but  by  routing  the  work  through 
a  Hoosier  Cabinet,  the  time  for  gathering  and  clearing 
away,  was  reduced  from  a  total  of  twenty  minutes,  to  six,  a 
saving  of  over  two  hundred  per  cent  in  this  one  simple  task. 
Actual  figures  will  vary  in  other  kitchens,  but  the  propor¬ 
tion  of  saving  will  be  about  the  same  anywhere.

Why  800,000  Use  It 

With  this  example  it  is  easy  to  understand  why  the 
800,000  women  who  route  their  work  through  Hoosier 
Cabinets  have  so  much  more  leisure.  With  a  Hoosier 
you  can  hardly  help  being  quick  with  your  work.  Meals 
are  ready  in  much  less  than  the  usual  time.  The  cabinet 
keeps  your  work  in  order  and  is  easy  to  keep  in  order

moves  so  easily  on  ball-bearing  steel  casters  that  sweeping 
behind  it  is  less  work  than  sweeping  under  a  chair. 

Your  Own  Duty 

All  this  saving  of  energy  and  of  countless  steps  and 
hours  makes  the  difference  between  being  fagged  out  and 
not  being  fagged  out  at  the  end  of  the  day.  Your  work  is

family  to  secure  this  saving  of  your  health  and  strength.

Cleaning  a  Iloosier  is  easy.  Notice  the  patent  saw-cur/s  which  keep  the

No  Experiment 

When  you  put  a  Hoosier  Cabinet  in  your  home,  you 
are  investing  in  leisure  hours.  There  is  no  experiment 
about  it.  The  800,000  women  who  use  Hoosiers  have 
perfected  its  convenience  with  their  practical  suggestions. 
Every  worthy  device  invented  for  saving  kitchen  work 
has  been  tested  at  the  factory  and  adopted  in  the  Hoosier 
Cabinet,  or  rejected,  according  to  merit.

You  can  take  the  Hoosier  entirely  apart  in  two  minutes  and  dust  every

A  Scientific  Machine 

The  Hoosier  has  no  frills.  Nothing  in  it  is  a  guess. 
It  is  a  scientific  labor-saving  kitchen  machine.  In  buying 
it,  you  save  all  risk  of  a  costly  experiment  in  your  own 
home.  You  get  the  benefit  of  all  the  practical  kitchen 
labor-saving  devices  that  have  been  made.

To  prevent  warping,  all  panels,  bottoms  and  sides  are  made  of  three 
boards  laid  crosswise  and  glued  together  under  5,000  pounds  pressure  per 
square  inch.  “Three-ply”  construction.  Note  dovetailed  drawers. 

Built  for  Long  Use 

The  Hoosier  is  simple,  strong  and  complete.  Every 
part  works  perfectly.  Where  labels  improve  convenience, 
each  part  is  labeled.  The  Hoosier  lasts  for  generations. 
It  is  built  of  solid  oak  from  practical  tests,  to  endure  the 
hard  wear  of  the  kitchen.  Its  material  is  the  best,  from 
the  casters  to  waterproof  finish.  It  is  a  splendid  kitchen 
cabinet  that  will  give  you  lasting  service  and  constantly 
increasing  satisfaction.

Built  of  oak;  beautiful  waterproof  finish;  will  last  a  lifetime.  Note  corners 
braced  rigidly  with  steel  bars.  Tested  for  every  kitchen  condition,  the 
Hoosier  you  buy  has  passed  1^0  inspections. 

Save  $10.00 

Best  of  all,  the  enormous  sale  of  Hoosiers  keeps  the  cost 
per  cabinet  very  low.  Also,  by  being  built  on  a  scientific 
standard,  the  Hoosier  avoids  the  great  cost  of  constant 
corrections,  a  saving  that  goes  to  you,  the  purchaser. 
Finally,  it  is  sold  at  a  standard  retail  price  in  every  town 
through  one  reliable  dealer  whose  profit  per  cabinet  is 
small.  These  savings  in  total  make  an  economy  of  at 
least  $10.00  for  you  when  you  buy  a  Hoosier.

Moves  easily  on  ball-bearing,  steel  casters. 


Few  Cents  a  Day 

This  money  economy  you  can  count.  You  can  figure 

easily  how  a  few  pennies  a  day  within  a  year  pay  the 

whole  of  the  small  Hoosier  price.  But  the  value  to  you 

of  the  time  and  labor  you  save,  and  your  increasing 

satisfaction  every  day  you  use  your  Hoosier,  not  even 

you  can  measure.

Work  quickly  done  and  Hoosier  quickly  cleaned.  Close  it  up  and  your 
kitchen  looks  neat  and  orderly,  and  you  have  saved  miles  of  steps. 

Buy  Yours  Now 

Remember  when  you  need  a  thing,  you  pay  for  it 
whether  you  use  it  or  not.  Every  day  you  waste  energy 
doing  work  a  Hoosier  would  save  you,  you  are  paying  a 
big  price  for  the  Hoosier  and  getting  nothing  back.  The 
money  cost  of  the  Hoosier  is  very  small.  Your  best  sav¬ 
ing  is  to  get  your  Hoosier  now.

work  with  such  a  cabinet.”

with  my  cabinet.  It  is  everything  that 
you  represented  it  to  be,  and  a  person 
does  not  know  fully  the  usefulness  of 
one  until  they  have  a  trial.” 

Mrs.  M.  P.  Jones,  Searcy,  Ark., 
writes:  “My  new  Hoosier  Cabinet  is 
all  O.  K.  That  doesn’t  tell  all,  for  it 
is  a  perfect  beauty  and  an  article  no 
housekeeper  should  be  without.” 

Mrs.  F.  Horton  Johnson, Browns, 
ville,  Texas,  writes:  “Have  used  the 
Hoosier  Cabinet  for  a  month  and  find 
it  the  acme  of  comfort.  Have  used  a 
kitchen  cabinet  for  years  and  found  it 
a  treasure,  but  your  Hoosier  is  far 
superior  to  any  I  have  ever  found  on 
the  market,  besides  being  a  beautiful 
piece  of  furniture.” 

Mrs.  P.  J.  Jacobson,  Gilman, 
Iowa,  rcrites:  “The  cabinet  indeed  is 
beyond  my  anticipations.  It  is  so 
handy  and  well  made  and  has  so  many 
useful  features  that  I  can’t  see  how  it 
could  be  improved  upon,  and  withal  so 
prettily  finished  that  it  is  an  ornament 
in  the  kitchen.  It  was  my  Christmas 
gift  and  I  am  sure  I  never  had  one  that 
I  appreciated  more  and  expect  to 
appreciate  as  long  as  housekeeping 
days  shall  last.” 

Mrs.  Cassie  Noble,  New  Boston, 
III.,  writes:  “The  cabinet  arrived  in 
good  shape  and  I  am  glad  to  say  that 
it  is  up-to-date,  true  to  name  and  all 
right,  just  as  you  represented  it.” 

Mrs.  C.  E.  Smock, Wayzate,  Minn., 
writes:  “The  Hoosier  Cabinet  arrived 
in  good  condition.  We  are  very  much 
pleased  with  it  and  find  it  even  nicer 
and  more  convenient  than  we  expected. 
Every  one  who  sees  it  thinks  it  is  the 
most  complete  cabinet  yet  made.” 

Chas.  S.  Norris,  Melrose  High¬ 
lands,  Mass.,  writes:  “I  want  to  tell 
you  that  the  Hoosier  Cabinet  is  per¬ 
fectly  satisfactory  and  that  my  wife  is 
delighted  with  it.” 


Mrs.  Lewis  Nathaniel  Chase, 
Louisville,  Ky.,  writes:  “We  expect 
to  move  to  Bordeaux,  France,  by  the 
middle  of  September  and  although  we 
are  not  taking  all  of  our  furniture,  our 
Hoosier  Cabinet  has  to  go.  I  have  no 
desire  to  keep  house  anywhere  with¬ 
out  it.” 

Mrs.  R.  A.  Woods,  Winfield, 
Tenn.,  writes:  “I  wish  to  say  that  the 
Hoosier  Cabinet  recently  received  by 
me  is  satisfactory  in  every  way.  It  is 
complete  in  every  detail,  compact, 
beautifully  made  and  the  most  con¬ 
venient  piece  of  furniture  a  woman 
could  have  in  the  house.” 

L.  Earl  Thompson,  Mason,  Ohio, 
writes:  “We  are  more  than  pleased 

with  our  cabinet.  Wife  considers  it 
the  Ideal  of  all  kitchen  cabinets.” 

Mrs.  H.  C.  Raymore,  Maitland, 
Fla.,  writes:  “I  received  the  cabinet 
ten  days  ago  and  find  it  as  represented. 
Every  one  who  has  seen  it  think  it  fine 
and  want  to  know  where  I  got  it.  It 
is  certainly  a  labor-saving  piece  of 
furniture.  I  am  more  than  pleased 
with  it.” 

Geo.  A.  Toussaint,  New  Milford, 
Conn.,  writes:  “I  wish  to  say  the 
Hoosier  Cabinet  has  proven  satisfac¬ 
tory  in  every  way.  That  it  saves  the 
housewife  many  steps  cannot  be  denied 
and  it  certainly  is  a  marvel  of  con¬ 
venience  and  practical  usefulness.  If 
called  upon  to  make  a  sacrifice  I  think 
my  wife  would  as  soon  part  with  the 
kitchen  range  as  her  Hoosier.” 

Mrs.  J.  Bell  Zabriskie,  North 
Hackensack,  N.  J.,  writes:  “My 
Hoosier  Cabinet  arrived  in  good  con¬ 
dition  and  by  its  compactness  and  many 
conveniences  has  saved  me  numerous 
steps  even  in  the  short  time  it  has  been 
in  my  kitchen.  It  is  very  ornamental 
as  well  as  useful  and  all  who  see  it  admire 
it.  Judging  by  its  excellent  construc¬ 
tion  I  expect  it  will  wear  as  well  as 
you  claim  it  will.” 

Mrs.  R.  E.  Spurrier,  Granite 
City,  Idaho,  writes:  “I  am  well 

pleased  with  the  Hoosier  Cabinet.”
